What are some key considerations when choosing Cloud solutions for China operations?

Choosing a China-based cloud over its international counterpart is a matter of local regulation. Foreign investors should exercise diligence in selecting cloud services that meet regulatory requirements without compromising internal privacy.

When companies use their own on-premise servers to host data, this requirement is typically fulfilled. However, when hosting data on a cloud platform, businesses are obligated to ensure that this data remains within China. The easiest way to fulfill this requirement is to use a China-based cloud provider.

Privacy

For companies with their own on-premise servers, the responsibility of the security and privacy of their data would fall on the strength of the implemented systems. Companies requiring cloud services from external sources should ensure providers guarantee vigorous privacy policies and that data is not shared with third parties.
